Please use the dma_*() variants of the DMA interfaces for which you
will pass in a reference to the struct device embedded in the pci_dev.

This will allow you to later make use of various generic facilities
we will build for DMA mapping SKBs in the networking, allocating
networknig page frags, etc.
You said you *will* be building these facilities. Are there any now
that we can take advantage of? (We'll move to the dma_* variants
regardless.)

Also, do you have any remaining style / global comments that we should
address?

Thanks,
Derek
